MOTTO MORTGAGE FIRST OPENS LARGER OFFICE AS IT CONTINUES TO GROW

Mortgage Brokerage Filling Niche in Local Lending Industry

DETROIT – One of the first two franchises in the Motto Mortgage network has moved to a larger office to accommodate its growing operation.

Motto Mortgage First, a thriving mortgage brokerage in Waterford, Michigan, has relocated to 4468 W. Walton Blvd. The office is part of the growing network of Motto Mortgage franchises.

Motto Franchising, LLC, the country’s first mortgage brokerage franchisor and the second member of the RE/MAX Holdings, Inc. (NYSE: RMAX) family of brands, launched in October 2016. The Motto concept is designed to deliver a better consumer experience, as homebuyers can work with a real estate agent to find a home and with a Motto Mortgage loan originator to secure financing.

The Motto Mortgage First franchise in Waterford is owned by Levan Wood, who also owns RE/MAX Eclipse, a real estate brokerage with multiple offices in Oakland County. Wood opened Motto Mortgage First because he saw a need that was not being met.

“We saw a hole in the mortgage industry in regards to customer service and getting the best mortgage products for our clients,” Wood said. “Our clients have access to a Motto Mortgage Loan Originator that connects them with different lenders based on their specific needs. It’s a higher level of service.”

Wood, a lifetime resident of Oakland County and a Realtor® since 2006, has owned RE/MAX Eclipse since 2014. With the power of both RE/MAX and Motto Mortgage behind him, Wood is able to provide a wide range of services to clients, along with convenience, choice and transparency.

Motto Mortgage presents an attractive proposition to loan originators as well, offering them tools, resources and proximity to a real estate brokerage and its agents.

Motto Mortgage is a different kind of mortgage network that provides clarity and personalized guidance to homebuyers who deserve an advocate. It’s a groundbreaking concept that connects a real estate brokerage to a separate, franchised mortgage brokerage, providing the one-stop shop homebuyers want and the experience they deserve. The new mortgage brokerage franchise model is the first of its kind in the United States and is offered by Motto Franchising, LLC, the second member of the RE/MAX Holdings, Inc. family of brands. It brings opportunity to consumers, brokers, loan officers and agents. Each office is independently owned, operated and licensed.
